[THE WEIRDEST PHONES OF 2021]
Folks, let’s be honest: you knew I wasn’t gonna do a rundown of regular phones. And as much as I’d have liked to do a best foldables list … well, firstly, not every video can be a foldable video; and second, I think we all know which foldables would have won. So to close out 2021, whaddya say we get weird?
Join me for a celebration of weird tech as I go hands-on with four of the oddest phones of 2021: the CAT S22 Flip; the Unihertz Tick Tock; the Microsoft Surface Duo 2; and the Leica Leitz Phone 1!

Would love to see an in-depth look at the Leica phone. I had no idea it existed before now, but now I'm captivated by just how extra it seems. We've got to find out the catches!

[@craigpodsprojames2500]

Can we take a moment to celebrate that it has a headphone jack?

[@joaomendes3907]

I support both statements here

[@tams805]

@@craigpodsprojames2500 But no two-stage shutter button. Bizarre.

[@PaperReaper]

@@tams805 I find it kinda weird they went really far but not all the way lol. I am still really happy Leica and Sony are trying to keep the jack alive

[@sushimshah2896]

Well it's based on the Aquos R6 (the other guy already pointed that out) which came in the first half of this year & was one of the first (and still only one) to feature 1-240Hz LTPO display along with the 1" sensor & the beloved 3.5mm HP Jack ofc!!

[@s9chroma210]

Would love a review for the Leica phone. Happy holidays!

[@tobybartlett]

I’d love to see a review of it as well. It looks intriguing.

[@MyAulos]

Sadly Japan-only.

[@marzuqahmed218]

@@tobybartlett Yeah, it looks quite nice

[@tobybartlett]

@@marzuqahmed218 Totally. Even though I wouldn’t buy it I’m always interested to see phones that are different from the boring slabs we all have.

[@StormBurnX]

The tick tock phone is actually an interesting concept, if you think about the way we as a culture communicate attention, focus, and respect - for example, laying a phone face down, which usually mutes it or puts it on do not disturb, so as to show that we are paying attention to a conversation or a meeting in a room or whatnot. Laying this phone face down still allows you to have the benefits of a smartwatch, where you get a discrete, simplified version of alerts, but for people who do not physically enjoy wearing a watch.

[@TJKoopa3018]

While I definitely can’t and probably won’t get that Leica phone, I’d love to see a review on it. Very interesting that they went for that design but for a camera like that, I get it.

[@James_R369]

I like the cap on camera

[@madmann6723]

The Leica phone is really interesting, would love to get Michael's impressions on that one.

[@jamesfbowes]

Absolutely loved this episode, thought the Unihertz phone was so quirky, and then the Leica Leitz! Think it has a fabulous shell/body. Please review both in more detail. Also yes the CAT phone was also good, like the new light Android version.

[@blackleague212]

I wouldn't mind using the cat phone and kicking it around a bit. If it switches accounts easily I would use it as an outdoor phone.

[@toshineon]

That CAT phone is like a gift from above for me. I've always wanted something reminiscent of a mid-00's cell phone, but running Android. It's not that I want to go basic or disconnect, I just don't have a preference for the "one giant screen" form factor that dominates 99% of the market. And regarding the question posed at the Unihertz, the question isn't "why?", it's "why not?".

[@westondaniel]

That Surface Duo has so much potential. Hard to imagine other manufactures haven’t embraced this form factor.

[@brettthomas6327]

I agree

[@athisio836]

The 2 separate screens is a pass for me. If it was foldable like the galaxy fold then yes.

[@OzAkman]

Leica review would be awesome. Also, whenever I see or hear the brand Leica, reminds me of a movie called Euro Trip. If you haven't seen it, it's a must. 😜😂

[@KitDoctor]

Definitely would love to see more of the Leica

[@armchaircritech]

Unihertz is different ,may we ask full review for Leica!

[@miq_vc]

The leica phone was the most interesting one. Never knew it existed. A review of niche product is always fun 👍🏼. Hopefully you wil 🤞🏼. By the way i like the way you took a "different approach" than the usual "best phones 2021" I love it 💯👍🏼

[@Pegasys22]

Love how youtubers are so specifically outlining their financial involvements with 3rd parties now. Gives me so much more confidence in what they say about things. If only politicians did the same!

[@curiocritters]

This is the kind of content am here for! And yes, please, to the Leica camera phone review! Excelsior, and happy holidays, Michael! 🕊️

[@HSLSENG]

That Blink quote made me smile, very well done

[@alikmt]

Yes please! A full review is very helpful. Specially camera quality.

[@Mochoso_]

I love this series, please do even more reviews about weird phones, keep it up

[@johnmchugh9224]

Thanks for all your videos and hope you have a great Christmas

[@tobybartlett]

Thanks for making such amazing videos all year long Michael! Stay safe and happy holidays. ✌️

[@kgvertu]

Great video concept as always Michael!

[@SpaceWithSam]

Always loving your videos, Michael!👍👏

[@F142Lock]

Michael man I still watching your videos not for the phones but i like how you made them , professional, articulate. Thanks man and cheers from FL.

[@mikldude9376]

That last phone was really cool , yes please for the review . And Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you Michael.

[@a.m.2368]

Would love a full review of the Leitz phone 1. Especially the camera. Happy Holidays!

[@shisnatz2]

As someone who's been watching since the pocketnow days I'm so glad you're still killing it on KZbin!

[@saketsripada]

Would absolutely love to hear more on the cat S22 flip... Been addicted since this video came out... Would especially love to hear meaningful/functional/2022 alternatives

[@kirky1081]

An early Christmas present, thank you for the quality content released this year and looking forward to a weird and wonderful 2022

[@jukkatuomi4927]

I'd love to see a review of the Leica phone. To be honest, I love all of your reviews. Greetings from Finland and merry Christmas! 🎅

[@jaex9617]

I love Unihertz’s willingness to go full mental.

[@thecookiedude85]

Just want to say I really enjoy your videos… the way you spot your videos and edit them says you are a master of your craft…

[@sashahawthorne3746]

Would absolutely love to see a review of the Leitz 1, never really see much about Sharp phones in general never mind such a special edition of one. Curious to see if the 240hz panel is a noticeable improvement over the 90 and 120hz panels that are becoming more and more common now as well Fantastic video as always and happy holidays!

[@mrzellar3881]

I'm a huge fan of your videos, MrMobile, and I just wanted to thank you for all the work you put into them! Also thank you for bringing back the music you use in your description. I love some of the tracks you have as background music and being able to look up the full song and listen to it is absolutely amazing. Keep up the great work! 😊

[@chouaibidiablo]

You are the one i trust when it comes to reviews , covering everything without being boring , so yeah we want to see you reviewing this one ! Happy Friday 💙

[@AfnanHussain]

Thank you for covering Duo 2🙏🏻

[@believeintheshield1896]

I love these weird phones videos! They're targeted towards people like me! Keep them up! 👍

[@arjitsingh6539]

I would love a review of the Leica phone. Wish ya a merry christmas as well !

[@d_eexe]

that **THOCC** sound from closing the CAT S22 is extremely satisfying

[@ZzeroEffort]

Honestly I love all of the animations when you switch segments in the video. It feels like I’m watching a video from 2001 with 2021 quality

[@Unan1mouz]

Merry Xmas MrMobile and happy holidays!

[@Chemy.]

Man what a great video, very interesting, hopefully manufacturers will keep doing weird and new stuff and this video will become a serie

[@frenzytom]

Great video Michael! So many interesting phones. After watching this, seeing my regular slab phones seems so boring.

[@caiocotrim9139]

Loved the video man! They can be weird if they want to, after all, foldable screens were weird for some people not too long ago!

[@NitinRPatil-mo1ht]

Yes please, we would love to see a review of the Leitz phone!!

[@MithunOnTheNet]

Yup, would love to see a review of the Leica phone!

[@Soonopen1979]

This is awesome, Michael. Thanks :) Merry Christmas.

[@explosionsindasky]

I'm all in for that Leica review!, hopefully you find time to do it, thanks for the videos as always.

[@MVK_GS]

Happy and safe holidays, Michael. Thank you for all the excellent content.

[@loganhubbard1950]

Would love to see the Leitz Phone review!

[@hellspawn]

Pretty cool to see the Unihertz Titan on this list. I actually use one as my main phone and love the big chunky thing. Really like your content man, keep it up. These quirky phone episodes + the when phones were fun series are my absolute favourites.

[@Mediic-SureShot8]

Yes would love to see an in-depth review of the Leica phone, Happy Christmas from the UK 🇬🇧

[@ShepTheCreator]

Wow great video!!! I can't imagine how long it takes to do those cutaways!! Ya' know, the things where you do close ups. Whatever there called! Anyways what mic do you use? The sound quality is always so good!

[@blaster915]

Love to see a review of the Leica!!

[@govardhanposina17]

Oh hell yes, we most certainly would like a full review of the Leitz Phone 1!!

[@Rleiterh]

I would love to see a fulll review! also, what about a low budget phone review?

[@williamhart4896]

Good video Mr Mobile that leika phone deserves a full review thanks for the year of good video and have a great Christmas break

[@shikharsharma5943]

The only reason I was drawn to your channel was the love for weird and quirky phones. Well done mate !

[@RHTeebs]

3:33 Love the choice on the watch face, there. Starfleet Admiral badge. Nice 👍

[@raghusriraam6884]

Yes. We want to see your review on Leitz phone. It's looks pretty dope

About the Leica phone review: I watch everything you upload, just for your well-written text and sooting voice. And thank you for this video.

[@MikeMajeski]

Star Trek & Blink references in the same video! Love it.

[@superheroverse3941]

Yes please a full review of the Leica phone.

[@vedanshchn]

The form factor of that Leica phone reminds me of the good old Windows Phone. Such beautiful devices they were

[@megamegaO]

PLUS Leica has an actual app store! Unlike the windows phones, who had their OWN app...and apps.

[@ModricoYT]

Yes we need a Pocket PC 2022…with physical keys and maybe less thickness

[@ThierryTiramisu]

Plz review the Leitz phone. Happy Holidays, Mr. Mobile! :)

[@IDreamElectricSheep]

Full review of leica leitz one, please. Happy holidays

[@DaggZagg]

More Leica phone! And more about that unihertz phone! Please :)

[@rithwikbasrur3197]

I would definitely love to see a review of the Leica phone. Wherever you do go for a road trip review, go on a boat. I'm sure you will get amazing photos there too

[@kfcbrahmin]

YES!! Full review please

[@kyokuten]

Hell yeah I want to see you reviewing the Leica phone, even the Leica M10 if you can

[@ahnaf2hin]

Yes we want unusual and underrated phones to be on MrMobile Channel. Again great work Fisher!

[@hojomoone]

Just because we get to see more of you, and the MrMobile style, we have to say Yes to that question, AND none of us out here in the real world can afford one! Don't forget Cogen - you two do Road Trips so well - Big Thanks for the novelties in this one, and Happy Christmas Michael 🙂🎅🌲

[@ThePerradox]

Have a really great Christmas Michael, thank's for another year of excellent videos.

[@ThePerradox]

Definitly would love a Leitz 1 roadtrip review :)

[@fabrizio-6172]

Thank you dear and 🌲Merry Christmas 🌲

[@rav11stars]

wow, First the Leica review and then watched this. You're such a refreshing break from the regular boring "tech reviews" I find on KZbin. Thank you for doing this 😌

[@mxbblife_mu]

Leica Phone is Total Garbage.

[@abhishekagarwal787]

Best year end video from Tech channel

[@yarimuchi7864]

Yes, do a full review on the Leica phone please!

[@Traveldan]

I think EVERYONE would definitely love to see a review of the Leica phone. looks amazing and i cant wait to see the camera performace.

[@ryebread4781]

Thanks for the excellent content and have a a happy holidays!

[@davidsullivan5231]

Love to see a review on the Leica phone.

[@kazirafakathossain730]

I would really love to see a road-trip review of the Leica phone which I never even heard about. And really man I like your Road-Trip Reviews the most......

[@juansantiago4442]

Yet again 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏another Great video from my favorite KZbinr ......Please Lieca phone review next... and Happy Holidays to you and your family...

[@drvel]

The Leica phone reminds me of my old Lumia 800, loved that design.

[@damiengrief]

Hell yeah. Would love to see a full review of the Leitz Phone 1. I have a Leica camera and love it. Would really like to know if Leica can pull off the same magic in a phone.

[@alwaysxnever]

You can tell you're an actor. I appreciate your showmanship good sir. Makes these videos a delight as I keep up with modern mobile tech and remenice on the old days. Plus . Fellow Trekker. 😂

[@ryebread4781]

Yes, please review the Leica phone. I really want the Surface Duo to be good. I like the idea of it.

[@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou]

Out of all of these, the CAT S22 Flip is by far the most interesting to me. It's not clear to me how the Leica Leitz Phone 1 is really all that different from a regular phone, aside from the (presumably better?) camera and refresh rate.

[@ryanskinner7683]

Loved the blink182 reference @8.00

[@Pascal_Loop]

Yes! We want a review for the LeicaPhone!

[@syed2194]

8:02 As someone born a year after that song dropped, I loved that reference lmao

[@sinisakovac3483]

So the full review man, another good video...

[@The_Calm_Chaos]

That Leica phone looks amazing. Would love to see a full review of it.

[@akdaltonaurora]

Definitely would like a review on the Leica Phone, and one thought, why not take a bit of a crazy "road trip", Alaska. Right now Fairbanks is an absolute winter wonderland, and with the storms we are getting, great photography. Plus, there are 2 big tests/challenges that Alaska can throw at a device that not many places can, extreme low light, and extreme cold. One comparison that I do testing different equipment is battery length "warm", and cold. Plus, you would not believe some of the crazy quirks that extreme cold can bring out in a device of any sorts!!!!

[@thedrunknmunky6571]

That Leitz Phone 1 looked great... stunning.

[@Jamingedling]

Love your videos Michael! Watching on my Z Flip 3 😁 Merry Christmas to you 😊

[@Superknullisch]

Yes indeed! I agree with the others! Bring on that Leica Phone!

[@Kingofchaos313]

Yes we would love a full review

[@ratnamani8228]

I would Appreciate that Leitz Phone 1 Review. 😁👍

[@brettthomas6327]

I will be getting the Duo 2 very soon, can't wait 👍
